The newly appointed members of the Putnam County Board of Health recently elected Matthew Herman as the president of the board. The Putnam County Sentinel reports the move comes just three weeks after the county’s District Advisory Council opted to keep Herman on the board after other members called for his removal.

The decision led to four members of the health board resigning. That led to four new members taking over the vacant seats, and in turn electing Herman as the board president.
